Consort Mei was Emperor Xuanzong's patron princess and loved to plant plum trees in her residence.When Yang Guifei entered the harem, Emperor Xuanzong's heart turned away from Consort Mei, and during the An Lushan Rebellion, Consort Mei was killed by An Lushan's soldiers and buried next to Mei.Empress Ume appears to be waiting for Emperor Xuanzong by the plum tree.Judging from the sad look in his eyes, it seems that this was around the time Emperor Xuanzong began to distance himself from the area.
